Salvia (Sage)

Salvia is a genus comprised of more than 900 species of perennials, annuals, and biennials.
Spread throughout the world in dry temperate or tropical regions. Salvia is at home in
scrub-land, woodland, and moist grasslands. The square stems boast simple or pinnate leaves
that can be serrated, notched, scalloped, or deeply toothed. The flowers range in many
different colors and color forms, and are tubular and two-lipped. Our perennial sages offer
bold blooms and attractive foliage to the landscape.

Salvia Growing Tips

Plant in a well-drained soil that has been slightly enriched with organic matter.
Do not provide a rich garden soil, as these are waste land plants, and will grow lanky in
soils high in organic matter. Well-drained mineral soils are best.
Before planting make sure the pH of your soil is within a 5.5-7.0 for optimum growth
and flowering.
Salvia plants thrive in full sun and do not perform as well in partial shade.
To encourage a re-bloom or continuous blooming cut all spent flowering stalks to basal
rosette of leaves before they are allowed to seed out.
